    There are only a handful of apps that won't run for me in Windows 7 so I have an XP partition on my desk top but my M17x is Windows 7 Ultimate now. I was so sick of Vista's crap.

    If you really want XP do a search for it here since a few have gotten it to work. But they said that the comp doesn't run as well using XP.

    Windows 7 allegedly has 'XP Mode' although I admit I have no idea how well it works.
